When The Complete Linda Lovelace is reissued in a few short months, there will be a Print-On-Demand (POD) version and several eBook versions. At the very least it will be available for your Kindle—and maybe Nook—and there'll be an instant-download PDF version too. I've been looking into the fascinating and growing world of digital publishing, but I want to ask what you think about eBooks too; consider this less a Survey of the Week and more of a request for some friendly advice. I want all potential readers to have a say in how the product comes out.
So here are five quick questions. I'm leaving the comments box open this time; you can either cut and paste your answers or just tell me what you think about eBooks in general. Thanks for your help!
1. Is $9.99 a fair price for an eBook with more original content than the Print-On-Demand version?
2. Do you care about "enhanced" eBooks with short video and audio clips (like the author's interview tapes)?
3. What do you think of eBooks that end with printable coupons you could use for discounts on products not related to the book, if the coupons didn't increase the eBook sale price? For instance, sex toys or adult DVDs...
4. If you read eBooks, what format do you like best?
5. If you don't read eBooks, why not?
Here are some answers.....
ReplyDelete1. Is $9.99 a fair price for an eBook with more original content than the Print-On-Demand version?
Yes this seems like a fair price.
2. Do you care about "enhanced" eBooks with short video and audio clips (like the author's interview tapes)?
Yes, I think this can really add to the content and if used effectively can give your book an added edge in the marketplace.
3. What do you think of eBooks that end with printable coupons you could use for discounts on products not related to the book, if the coupons didn't increase the eBook sale price? For instance, sex toys or adult DVDs...
That's a great idea, I love it. The vendors placing the coupons could market the book as well mentioning the coupons.
4. If you read eBooks, what format do you like best?
I don't own an e-reader but I am just about to buy the Nook.
5. If you don't read eBooks, why not?
I just have to get to Barnes and Noble ASAP!
